pointing out last time this
came up (no more than a few months ago) that having
some experience of
organizing a large event, while not essential, would make the whole
thing a lot less stressful. A number of other points were made detailing
many pitfalls that await the unwary. The thread went very quiet after
that :)
Yes.
Another thing to consider is that you can't just make an event an call
it a Vintage Computer Festival. That is a trademark, etc. belonging to
Sellam. He's glad to help people who are serious about hosting a new
VCF, however.
